Continental Gator Hardshell Duraskin Folding Road Tire

Continental Gator HardShell Bike Tire:
The Ultra Gatorskin has set the bar for a perfectly-balanced blend of ride quality and long-term durability without breaking the bank. Still the roads of the world demand a model even tougher. The Gator Hardshell delivers!

Sharing the bead-to-bead protection of DuraSkin, the Hardshell casing wraps further into the sidewall and an extra-wide Ply-X breaker covers the entire tread strip from shoulder-to-shoulder. Added material in the tread strip not only improves mileage, but lends yet another degree of puncture resistance.

More isn't always better, but in the case of the Gator Hardshell Tire from Continental - MORE is exactly what you get.

Great training tires!!!

August 13, 2011

If you are out there training for triathlons or cycling
events then there is no better tire to use than Continental
Gatorskin tires. These tires are built to last and have great
puncture protection. I use the 700x25c for better handling and more
comfort. When you are training you want a solid tire but when I
race I switch to the faster rolling Continental GP4000s. Definitely
recommend these tires for everyday training or
commuting.

Pros:

Durable, Easy To Use, Sturdy

Best Uses:

Endurance Training

Great for riding in the desert

August 11, 2011

I've been using these tires for years, they are perfect
for riding in the desert and avoiding thorns giving you a flat. I
am notorious for riding straight through piles of glass, and I very
rarely flat. Overall they are great if you want a durable training
tire. The only cons are it takes some muscle to get the tire on for
the first time, and the weight. I also have had 2 sidewall failures
but I replaced the bad tires with new gatorskins.
